''Savior Sorrow'' (also recognized as SaVIor Sorrow, in the development stages of the album) is the sixth studio album by alternative metal band Mushroomhead. It is their first release through Megaforce Records. This is the first Mushroomhead recording to feature Waylon Reavis on vocals, who replaced Jason "J Mann" Popson and the last album to feature guitarist Bronson. Originally set to be released on June 6, 2006 it was pushed back for unknown reasons (but is speculated due to attempting to acquire the rights to Prince's song, "When Doves Cry" so they could place a cover on the album) and MushroomKombat was launched instead. The album was released on September 19, 2006 in the United States, while overseas versions were released in mid-October 2006. ==Album information== Bronson left before the album was released. Although the majority of the guitar parts for the album were created by Dave "Gravy" Felton, Bronson did in fact write the majority of "Cut Me" and "The Need". The album was released on Waylon Reavis' Birthday and the anniversary of the day he was asked to join the band. A demo version of the song "Burn" was included on a FYE sampler, which was given away in June exclusively with the purchase of two qualifying CDs at FYE stores. It was limited to 25,000 copies and was done in conjunction with Decibel magazine. Drummer Steve Felton (Skinny) says: "It's a new chapter in MUSHROOMHEAD's evolution. There are sounds on this album that sound so brutal and huge. We focused on delivering some vicious hardcore mixed with heavy melodic hooks. Lyrically, it definitely reflects where the world is at this moment in time." The album's first single, "Simple Survival" debuted on Cleveland's WMMS on August 11, 2006. The band began a world tour on September 12, 2006, alongside Soil, Brand New Sin, and The Autumn Offering as part of the Jägermeister Music Tour. Videos for "Simple Survival", "Burn", "Damage Done", "12 Hundred", "Save Us" and "Embrace the Ending" have been filmed. "Damage Done" was filmed by Robert Kurtman's crew after the filming of scenes in the upcoming horror movie "The Rage", which features a Mushroomhead performance. Waylon brings diversity and multiple dimensions to the band. He's a screamer and a singer who molds his voice to what the songs demand. Drummer and producer Skinny, comments: “Waylon is versatile. He is a chameleon who changes his voice at breakneck speed. It’s truly remarkable.” With this album, the band continues to explore the musical depths by remaining different and forward-thinking as ever.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Savior Sorrow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
